🧾Glossary

CREPE In this white paper, Crepe has three meanings. The first refers to the decentralized asset management system and its ecosystem. The second points to the token used for governance within the ecosystem. The third is the DAO group that governs the ecosystem. To distinguish the meanings, we denote them, Crepe for the system, CREPE for the tokens, and Crepe for the organization, respectively.

RWA Real-World Assets. These refer to assets that have value in the world. In this whitepaper, they include both real and virtual assets that have value.

PaaM™ Planetary Augmented Asset Makerspace. PaaM™ is the engine of the CREPE System that specializes in digital asset management. PaaM™ composed of three component platforms: asset tokenizer, strategy creator, and activity taker. They are named Asset Tokenization Platform, Strategy Creation Platform, and “One-click” Activity Platform, respectively. Users may create a basket of assets using a makerspace in the system. Each makerspace carries a framework to develop a portfolio of investments. Assets include any on/cross-chain assets or non-blockchain assets with credential oracle market data.

MNS Market-Neutral Strategy. It is a type of investment strategy that seeks to stabilize the profit regardless of the directional risk of the underlying assets.

NNS Non-market-Neutral Strategy. It is a type of investment strategy that seeks to maximize profit while taking some form of market risk.

VMS Virtual Matrix Strategy. It is an investment strategy that includes any off-chain or non-blockchain assets with credential oracle market data.

CrW™ CrW™ (Crepe Work) is a basket of decentralized crypto assets. It is a blockchain version of the traditional financial Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), and similar to exchange-listed index funds (ETFs), it is an asset that strictly follows a particular index. A CrW basket is rebalanced or repositioned only as defined in its creation time. It is managed by authorized product managers, EPM (Expert Product Managers), or WPM (Whitelist Product Managers).

CrD™ CrD™ (Crepe Direct) is a basket almost similar to a CrW™. The difference is that CrW™ can only be created and operated by authorized managers following the index. In contrast, anyone can design, create, and operate CrD™ by paying a small deposit and token issuance fee.

EPM Expert Product Managers. The experts with the privilege to create CrW™ and their management strategy. The governing DAO authorizes them to be EBM.

WPM Whitelist Product Managers. The people with the privilege to create CrW™ and their management strategy. The governing DAO authorizes them to be WBM.

PPM Private Product Managers. Users may create their asset CrD™ without permission from any group or the DAO.

Virtual Assets Another name for cryptocurrencies. The US Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and other regulatory authorities around the world are officially using the name.[1]

Maker/Creator Those who use the makerspaces. They are expected to be financial experts to create financial products.

Makerspace A makerspace is a placeholder that the PaaM™ offers. Each makerspace carries a framework for a specific financial product/service that users may use to create their products/services.

Protocol Economy refers to an economic ecosystem that implements fair distribution through decentralization, executing a contract as a smart contract between individuals. By signing all transactions in the form of smart contracts between all participants in the PaaM™, fair distribution, and protocol economy are realized.

Intrinsic Value refers to the inherent or fundamental worth of an asset, independent of its market price or fluctuations. It is the actual value of an asset based on its underlying characteristics such as its usefulness, scarcity, quality, and potential for generating income. In finance, it is often used to determine the fair value of stocks, bonds, and other securities, and it is a key concept in fundamental analysis.

PoR Proof of Reserves refers to a method that transparently assures and proves to the public that a specific asset or financial asset genuinely exists, through methods such as audits. This method is primarily used to confirm the actual existence of a crypto asset and by recording evidence of this on the blockchain, it enhances the credibility of the blockchain ecosystem.

CCIP The CCIP (Cross-chain Interoperability Protocol) is a protocol that provides a means for heterogeneous blockchains to interact and share information. This protocol allows data and transactions generated in different blockchain networks to be transmitted and used across disparate blockchains. Through this, assets, smart contracts, and data from different blockchains can be efficiently exchanged and their trustworthiness ensured, promoting interoperability between heterogeneous ecosystems. This ensures diversity in blockchain-based services and applications. In the Crepe System, this protocol is utilized to compose and manage a basket of assets dispersed across multiple blockchains.
